Bactiguard Wire Brass are hosting a regional contest preview evening on Friday 20th February at Great Sankey High School Theatre, Barrowhall Lane, Gt Sankey in Warrington.

Competing bands

The concert begins at 7.30pm and will feature this year’s test pieces performed by bands competing in the North West area championships in Blackpool on the 1st March.

Unfortunatley there is no performance of the First Section work, 'Pentacle' by Graham Cole.

Judge

Richard Evans will be adjudicating throughout the evening and providing an essential critique of each performance, that each band will no doubt find invaluable in their preparation for the contest.
